These Alex HS students competed in the SWOSU Interscholastic meet today. It's been a great opportunity to spend time on a college campus and show off some of their academic knowledge!
The first track meet was a success and I want to personally thank everyone involved with running the meet and those there cheering on the Longhorns!
We had a very successful day with our athletes winning a lot of medals, but more importantly we had a great day as a team in track!
Team Standings:
Elementary Girls 4th overall
Elementary Boys 1st overall
Junior High Girls 3rd overall
Junior High Boys 1st overall
These athletes have been working hard and it shows in their performance.
Go Longhorns!

Reminder: We will be hosting another presentation by the Grady County Sheriff's Office and the DEA regarding the dangers of Fentanyl for parents, teachers, and the community to attend on April 25th at 7PM in the High School Gym. The presentation will consist of a slide show, video, and question and answer session. This presentation will be open to the public. Teachers and parents from other schools are encouraged to attend. For more information, please contact School Resource Officer Rhyne at 405 779 0040.
Our Spring Music Showcase, "Celebrate Happiness" will be on Thurs. April 13 at 2 and 7 pm in the HS Gym. This has been set on the school calendar all year, but we wanted to give notice to save the date now and make your plans accordingly to be there because all of our students have worked so hard on this show since January. This is a few week's earlier than in the past, but helps so much in avoiding conflicts with other school events. And if you remember last year's concert- hopefully will help us to avoid tornado warnings as well. Detailed notes will be sent out next week about what to wear, when to arrive, etc. Please save this date and come join us for a wonderful concert!
Due to the weather conditions the 6-8 baseball game has been canceled, but will be rescheduled at a later time.
There is a new scholarship posted on the website for students who want to pursue career and technical education.
